I Need Cosmetic Dentistry

If you’re ready to fix every flaw in your smile, contact Uptown Dental Associates for a wide array of cosmetic dentistry treatments!

Dr. Ryan Shepherd and our professional team will improve your smile and your confidence right here at our Albuquerque, NM dentist office!

In a private consultation, we will listen to your unique concerns and smile aspirations so we can recommend which cosmetic treatments will work best for you! You can even combine services for a comprehensive smile makeover!

If you're looking to enhance your smile, there are a lot of options in our office, ranging from whitening trays that we can make for you to whiten your teeth at home, we offer in-office whitening systems. If you're looking for something even more dramatic, there are option of veneers, crowns, bridges, implants, anything that is needed, really, to enhance the state of your smile. We also offer Invisalign in our practice, so if you have spacing or crowding or rotations of the teeth that are minor and need to be corrected, we can do that here in-house.
Sometimes it's a combination of several different things that need to be done. One of the other great things that I love about our practice is that we have something called the LumiSmile, which is basically a system where we take a photo of our patient and within 20 minutes, we have a digital rendering back of what their smile would like if they were to do major cosmetic work. Patients love that, because they actually can see a finished product of what they could expect them to look like if they were to invest in some cosmetic work. It's a nice thing for patients to get a sense of what the end result might be if they decide to proceed.

Dental Veneers

Dental veneers are an incredibly versatile cosmetic option that can be used to conceal chips, cracks, stains, and other smile flaws. We offer several types, including all-porcelain veneers and Lumineers.
